This worksheet helps students practice aural skills by listening to a rhythm and circling the correct notation from three choices.

Let’s go through each row one by one. In each row, you’ll hear a rhythm — your job is to pick which option (A, B, or C) matches what you hear.

Since we can’t actually listen here, I’ll help you understand how to compare the rhythms visually so you can match them when you do listen.

We’ll look at each row and break down the note values:

---

Row 1:
- A: quarter, quarter, two eighths, quarter → ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩
- B: two eighths, two eighths, quarter, quarter → ♫ ♫ ♩
- C: quarter, two eighths, quarter, quarter → ♩ ♫ ♩

Listen for where the “fast” notes (eighth notes) are. If you hear fast notes in the middle, it might be A. If they’re at the start, maybe B. If after the first beat, maybe C.

---

Row 2:
- A: half note, two eighths, quarter → 𝅗𝅥 ♫ ♩
- B: quarter, two eighths, quarter, quarter → ♩ ♫ ♩
- C: half note, quarter, two eighths → 𝅗𝅥 ♩ ♫

Half note = long sound (2 beats). Eighth notes = quick pair. Quarter = normal beat.

If you hear a long note first → A or C. Then check if the quick notes come next or later.

---

Row 3:
- A: same as Row 1A → ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩
- B: quarter, two eighths, quarter, quarter → ♩ ♫ ♩
- C: two eighths, quarter, quarter, quarter → ♫ ♩ ♩

Again, location of the eighth-note pair matters.

---

Row 4:
- A: quarter, rest, two eighths, quarter → ♩ 𝄽 ♫ ♩
- B: half note, two eighths, quarter → 𝅗𝅥 ♫ ♩
- C: dotted quarter, eighth, two eighths, quarter → ♩. ♪ ♫ ♩

Rest = silence. Dotted quarter = longer than regular quarter (1.5 beats).

Listen for silence or extra-long notes.

---

Row 5:
- A: four sixteenths, two eighths, rest, quarter → 🎵🎵🎵🎵 ♫ ♩
- B: two eighths, four sixteenths, rest, quarter → ♫ 🎵🎵 ♩
- C: two eighths, two eighths, rest, quarter → ♫ 𝄽 ♩

Sixteenth notes = very fast (4 per beat). Listen for super-fast groupings.

---

Row 6:
- A: dotted quarter, eighth, two eighths, quarter → ♩. ♪ ♫ ♩
- B: half note, two eighths, quarter → 𝅗𝅥 ♫
- C: half note, quarter, two eighths → 𝅗𝅥 ♩

Same as earlier rows — watch for dotted notes vs. half notes.

---

Row 7:
- A: four sixteenths, quarter, dotted quarter, eighth → 🎵🎵🎵🎵 ♩ . ♪
- B: four sixteenths, two eighths, dotted quarter, eighth → 🎵🎵🎵🎵 ♫ ♩. ♪
- C: four sixteenths, quarter, dotted quarter, eighth → same as A? Wait — let me check again.

Actually, looking closely:
- A: 🎵🎵🎵🎵 ♩ . ♪
- B: 🎵🎵🎵🎵 ♫ . ♪
- C: 🎵🎵🎵🎵 ♩ . ♪ → Same as A? That can’t be right… Maybe typo? Or perhaps C is different?

Wait — rechecking original image description... Actually, in standard notation, sometimes spacing changes meaning. But since this is text-based, let’s assume:

In Row 7, A and C may look similar but differ in grouping. Best to listen carefully for whether there’s a single quarter or two eighths after the sixteenths.

---

Row 8:
- A: quarter, quarter, quarter, half → ♩ ♩ 𝅗
- B: quarter, quarter, quarter, dotted quarter, eighth → ♩ ♩ ♩. ♪
- C: quarter, quarter, quarter, quarter, two eighths → ♩ ♩ ♩ ♫

Count total beats. Half note = 2 beats. Dotted quarter + eighth = 2 beats too. Two eighths = 1 beat.

So all end with 2 beats worth — but grouped differently.

---

Row 9:
- A: dotted quarter, eighth, quarter, eighth, eighth → ♩. ♪ ♩ ♪ ♪
- B: half note, dotted quarter, eighth → 𝅗𝅥 ♩. ♪
- C: half note, eighth, quarter, eighth → 𝅗𝅥 ♪ ♪

Again, half note = long. Dotted quarter = medium-long. Eighths = short.

---

Row 10:
- A: two eighths, quarter, four sixteenths, quarter → ♫ 🎵🎵 ♩
- B: quarter, two eighths, four sixteenths, quarter → ♩ 🎵🎵 ♩
- C: dotted quarter, eighth, four sixteenths, quarter → ♩. ♪ 🎵🎵🎵🎵 ♩

Location of the fast sixteenths matters — are they after a quarter? After two eighths? After a dotted quarter?

---

✔ Since this is an *aural* task, the correct answers depend on what you actually hear. But now you know how to analyze each option!

When you listen:

→ Tap along to feel the beat.
→ Notice where the fast notes happen.
→ Watch for rests or long notes.
→ Compare what you hear to the patterns above.

You’ve got this! Just take it one row at a time.

Final Answer:
[Answers will vary based on audio — student must circle A, B, or C for each row after listening.]
